Family day trips

Highlights

Discover Sydney and surrounds

Get your family Opal cards for public transport to top attractions in Sydney and nearby regions, including the World Heritage-listed Blue Mountains, Kiama Blowhole, Bradman Museum and Newcastle’s Merewether Beach.

Travel west to the Blue Mountains on a two-hour train trip from Central Station to Katoomba, where you can take a public bus to Echo Point for breathtaking views. Travel south by train for uncrowded beaches in Wollongong and the natural water spout in Kiama.

For a great family day out visit the award winning Australian Reptile Park on the Central Coast of NSW, approximately one hour north of Sydney. This park features resident kangaroos, koalas, Tasmanian devils, activities, exhibits and much more.

With Opal cards, your family will enjoy daily travel caps and the $2.50 per person Sunday cap. An Opal card is an e-ticket in a reusable plastic card, a convenient way to pay for public transport. You can get Opal cards at major train and ferry stations and some convenience stores and newsagents.
